From last Sunday's Chicago Marathon, the 70-74 Men's and Women's winning times were pretty remarkable: Jean-Pierre Solans @3:08:16 (still ~10-minutes off record pace) and Jeannie Rice @3:27:50. Her time, in particular, is a couple minutes faster than her listed 65-69 AR that she set last year and 9-minutes ahead of the currently listed AR. Kudos!
Looks like this is not just a new AR, but a new WR, by quite a margin.

"Running, she says, is a sport that you can pause and resume at any point throughout your life, and it’s not dependent on other people."
M: off.
T: elliptical 20 min. stationary bike 30 min.
W: Jacobs Ladder 20 min. stationary bike 30 min.
R: stationary bike 50 min.
F: rowing 20 min. stationary bike 30 min.
SA: stationary bike 50 min.
SU: 400m x 4. stationary bike 40 min.
My activity tracker fell off the arm band on Wednesday. The replacement has not arrived yet. So that means I don't have to count "steps" for the time being. I stopped doing the elliptical, and changed my routine a little bit. Set another PB in Jacobs Ladder (1830 in 20 min). Tried rowing again on Friday. (I could only get to 40-45 spm. So this is a very "inefficient" exercise for a step count purpose.) Finally "ran" again on Sunday. (walk-jog for a total of about 40 min.) Significantly less pain after the run. So hopefully my feet are getting better.
